In the field of tissue engineering, conductive hydrogels have been the most effective biomaterials to mimic the biological and electrical properties of tissues in the human body. The main advantages of conductive hydrogels include not only their physical properties but also their adequate electrical properties, which provide electrical signals to cells efficiently. However, when introducing a conductive material into a non-conductive hydrogel, a conflicting relationship between the electrical and mechanical properties may develop. This review examines the strengths and weaknesses of the generation of conductive hydrogels using various conductive materials such as metal nanoparticles, carbons, and conductive polymers. The fabrication method of blending, coating, and in situ polymerization is also added. Furthermore, the applications of conductive hydrogel in cardiac tissue engineering, nerve tissue engineering, and bone tissue engineering and skin regeneration are discussed in detail.

Abstract Biomaterials originate from natural substances and are widely used in medicine. Although they have to satisfy many conditions to be useful for treatment, more and more research is carried out with new types of biomaterials that can help replace various tissues such as tendons and bones. Chitosan is a very promising material, revealing unique features, which makes it useful for veterinary medicine - antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility, biodegradability. It is also known as good scaffold material, especially when combined with other polymers. This article describes chitosan as a biomaterial and tissue engineering scaffold with possible applications in veterinary medicine

Background: Artificial skin has been tried to implement on subject which is damaged by burn effect.In this research i tried with Silk fibroin as a block biopolymer and which is very high biodegradability and more flexible for cell culture as being a part of human body.With this artificial skin of SF/Chitosan will help to produce more pores of tissue engineering which will create a good implantation system.Skin is the longest and most important organ of human body.Artificial skin is a collagen scaffold that causes skin regeneration in animals such as humans. The innovative biomaterial silk consists of this collagen.I also tried to introduce collagen consisting of silk nanofibers for human body linked to burning patients impacted areas via tissue engineering administration.Body comprises of three layers.They are sometimes called the hypodermis, epidermis, dermis and the fat layer. Purpose: An exploration to implement human compatible artificial skin for burned body. Materials and methods: At first turned silk fibroin through degumming process as a block biopolymer and then check oxygen permeability with silk fibroin and chitosan combination.Check mechanical properties and this total experiment done through tissue engineering and cell culture. Tissue-built skin substitutes may offer a viable helpful choice for the treatment of patients with skin harms. Results: Implementable long term sustainability and high biodegradability artificial skin through cell culture. Conclusion: In this research, artificial skin has been developed with chitosan/SF layer based with complete block biopolymer and i got a significant result which will be compatible for human original skin with high oxygen and water permeability with cell culture and it is effective and result oriented for burning patient skin recovery and accidental case in the replacement of skin. Discussion: Artificial skin is a collagen scaffold that induces regeneration of skin in mammals such as humans.The novel biomaterial silk consists of this collagen.In this research work,we tried to implement collagen consisting silk nanofibers for artificial skin for human body related to burning patients affected areas through tissue engineering administration.

In this work fibres and complex three-dimensional scaffolds of a covalently linked graphene-polycaprolactone composite were successfully extruded and printed using a melt extrusion printing system. Fibres with varying diameters and morphologies, as well as complex scaffolds were fabricated using an additive fabrication approach and were characterized. It was found that the addition of graphene improves the mechanical properties of the fibres by over 50% and in vitro cytotoxicity tests showed good biocompatibility indicating a promising material for tissue engineering applications.
